Chapter 452: Chapter 453 A date?

Chapter 453 A date?

“In that case, I’ll go with you. You don’t know how to negotiate with people, I can help you.”

“No need.” Ziyuan said hurriedly, “She wouldn’t charge me a lot. She is mainly looking for someone to manage the house because the house has been emptied for a long time. I know her, and she saw me grow up, so she definitely won’t scam me. It would be very inappropriate for you to go with me. It would make her think that we, we are… She might refuse to rent me the house because of this…”

If I didn’t know she was lying, the excuse she gave me would have sounded reasonable. Ziyuan had never been a girl who liked lying since she was a child, but now, she could even lie without changing her facial expression… Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but feel slightly uncomfortable…

However, as a man, even if I knew that she was lying, I shouldn’t expose it. I understood Ziyuan’s feeling that she didn’t want to get too close to me. Maybe I should give her some more time. “Fine then, if there is anything I can help, give me a call.”

Ziyuan nodded, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes. I pretended not to see it, stretched my waist, and smiled: “Alright then, tomorrow I can finally have a good rest, hehe, I haven’t slept in for a long time.”

Ziyuan knew that I had the habit of sleeping in, so she couldn’t help but smile. This was a smile that I was familiar with. I was slightly dazed, and there was a bit of sorrow in my heart. I didn’t know if Ziyuan could tell how I felt at the moment or not, seeing that I stopped talking, she also fell silent. After a while, she suddenly said in a low voice, “I, I’m free the day after tomorrow…”

Her voice was too small and the surroundings were too noisy. I heard it, but I was not quite sure, “What?”

Ziyuan took a careful look at Mo Fei and repeated after seeing that her expression had not changed: “If you are free the day after tomorrow, I will go to your flat for dinner.”

Oh, so she didn’t avoid me on purpose! I was pleasantly surprised, and said in a hurry: “I’m free. I’m absolutely free. You can come… No, I’ll pick you up.”

“You don’t need to pick me up, it’s not like I don’t know where your flat is.” Seeing my excitement, Ziyuan blushed and became less reserved.

Then I seemed to hear Mo Fei snort coldly, but when I looked at her, she still had the indifferent face that people were used to. However, I could still detect that there was a strange look in her eyes when she looked at Ziyuan.

Ziyuan could also feel it, and her expression once again became a little unnatural. At this moment, the voice of Liusu appeared from behind, “Nan Nan, why did you leave so quickly? I was still looking for you inside. When did you come out… Eh? Ms. Mo, Xiao Zi, you are here too. What were you talking about?”

As I looked back, I noticed that not just Liusu, even Dong Xiaoye and Qin Lan’s faces were also filled with suspicions. Only Yao Wan’er was looking at me with an ambiguous smile on the corner of her mouth.

Those women looked at me first, then at Mo Fei. Although they didn’t say anything, what they were thinking was clearly written all over their faces.

Uh… this was reality, and this was the status quo. As long as I talked to Mo Fei, it would immediately attract everyone’s attention.

Mo Fei also noticed more and more complicated gazes that were cast on her. She coughed and said lightly: “Nothing, Chu Nan, remember to report to my office when you come back on Monday. Assistant Xue, Let’s go.”

Ziyuan nodded. She waved to Liusu, Dong Xiaoye, and other girls, and then followed Mo Fei to leave quickly.

“What’s the matter? Why were you looking for me in such a hurry?” I asked Liusu, but my eyes looked at Dong Xiaoye instinctively. Could it be that Sister Tiger told Liusu everything?

“No… No, wait, there is something…” Liusu looked around embarrassedly. The meeting had just finished, so there were a lot of people at the door…

“Is it a secret?” I couldn’t help but chuckle,

“A secret that only I can know? What is it? Quick, tell me.”

“Get lost!” Liusu said shyly: “Who would tell you secrets!”

From Liusu’s reaction, it seemed like it was not a secret, but it was indeed something that she felt embarrassed to tell me in front of other people.

“Liusu, we will go back to the office first, but don’t make us wait for you for too long.” Qin Lan held Dong Xiaoye with one hand, and Yao Wan’er with the other hand, dragging the third wheels away for Liusu. But Dong Xiaoye and Yao Wan’er had different expressions on their faces.

Dong Xiaoye was smiling coldly at me, making me shiver all over. And Yao Wan’er was looking at me aggrievedly, making me feel very confused. What did I do to her that she would look at me with this kind of expression?

When they walked past by my side, Qin Lan winked her big smiling eyes at me, but I didn’t understand what she wanted to express…

Liusu pulled me to the corner of the stairs without saying a single word. After making sure that there was no one around, she asked me in a low voice, “Nan Nan, are you free tomorrow?”

“Huh?” This line sounded a bit familiar…

Liusu’s face turned redder. She took out two movie tickets from her pocket, and said in a voice that was almost inaudible. “There will be a movie premiering at Bei Tian International Movie Theater tomorrow, and the actors will also show up at the scene. Lan Lan’s sister is the make-up artist for that crew. Her sister got three tickets through her relationship, and she gave me two tickets. If you have time, we can go to see it together…”

See a movie? Then two big golden words suddenly popped up in my mind – A date! Isn’t this a dating invitation?

Now that I think about it carefully, since university, I have spent countless weekends together with Liusu. Eating, shopping, playing football, and walking around aimlessly, we had done all of them, but I have never gone to see a movie with her. I had invited her once, but she solemnly said that she disliked watching movies in the movie theatre very much, and it was too boring to sit in a dark enclosed space for two hours and stay quiet.

Having a lively personality and lacking in romantic cells, Liusu didn’t like to watch movies. But at this moment, she wanted me to watch a movie with her. The meaning of this request couldn’t be more obvious.

I secretly scolded myself for being stupid and ignorant of girls’ thoughts. Liusu was already my girlfriend, but I never took the initiative to go on a date with her. Maybe I was not romantic enough, or maybe, in my life, I was used to waiting for Liusu to take the initiative.

Obviously, this was wrong, because we were no longer buddies. Liusu was just an ordinary girl. Rather than taking the initiative herself, she definitely wanted me to take the initiative as well.

“When will the movie start?”

“6… 6:30.” Liusu replied shyly, feeling embarrassed to look in my eyes.

“Then I will meet you at noon.”

“Noon?” Liusu raised head in confusion, “Why so early?”

I smiled and said, “I haven’t gone shopping with you for a long time, What? You don’t like it? Then forget it. I’m actually quite afraid of going to the mall with you…”

“I dare you!” Liusu finally regained her usual confidence, her eyes were full of joyful smiles, but she still tried to maintain a serious face. “You are allowed to sleep late in the morning. But you have to meet me at the New Century Shopping Center at half past one in the afternoon. Don’t be late, otherwise, you will be in big trouble!”

Maybe she felt that she was a little bit too bossy, so she blushed and turned around, preparing to leave. But before leaving, she added, “I have an appointment with Lan Lan and Wan’er to go to a SPA after work, so we will leave first. If you have nothing to do, remember to go home early and don’t stay outside too late. Also, don’t always make Elder Sister Xiaoye angry, she is doing it for your own good. So be a little considerate of her and listen to her advice more often.”

Sure enough, Dong Xiaoye, that woman, still complained to her about me…

. . .

“Elder Brother, give me money.”

Just when I picked up a piece of braised pork meat using chopsticks, Chu Yuan reached out her little hands before me and asked me for money. “Seriously? Do you charge me for eating at home?”

“No,” Chu Yuan pulled the chair forward, sat down next to me, and said, “Tomorrow I’m going to go shopping with Dongfang, and there is not enough pocket money.”

“You don’t have enough pocket money?” I pulled a serious face and said, “Don’t lie to me. You think I don’t know how much money you get from mom and dad every month. Plus the money I give you, how can you not have enough pocket money?”

When I was in high school, my old man would give me 200 yuan a month, not only for my pocket money, but also my living expenses. If it weren’t for my stepmother to help me, I wouldn’t even be able to pay for my phone bill.

Compared to me, Chu Yuan’s conditions were much better. Although my stepmother only gave her 300 yuan a month, my old man would give her an additional 500 yuan behind my stepmother’s back. When I thought of the difference in the treatment, I couldn’t help but want to challenge my old man to a duel…
